corn drink was unique. slightly savory but an interesting sweet flavor that's creamy.

will be back to try the tamarind drink

“First visit here and our orders were great, employees were friendly. It was fun to have ice cream in taco form.

I’m giving the place four stars because—while the ice cream was delicious—the lone bathroom was dirty and looked and smelled like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.“

“I've been coming here for the past 10 years on and off and then during the pandemic i started coming 1 drive thru and the staff is so amazing! Chris and brian absolutely love them but haven't seen ether of them in a while but the new staff seems pretty friendly, i do find myself having to go back and having them remake my drinks for wrong milk or charged for a larger size and get the wrong size BUT some of the best most consistent coffee there is. I've never tried something on the menu and been disappointed! The owner is such a sweet heart and extremely nice! not only to myself but to my kids as well and always waves to us in the morning from her car!“

“Great coffee and friendly service; however, I visited during a busy time and the place was mobbed. Took quite a while to get my beverage. It was hot and tasty, though.“

“I tried the new iced pumpkin latte and it was really good! It tastes better than Starbucks! I can’t wait for every fall to have some! :)“

“Cafe Big Mug is an absolute gem in San Jose—cozy vibes, modern aesthetic, and a menu that hits all the sweet spots (literally and figuratively). I stopped by recently and was seriously impressed with both the drinks and the desserts.

I ordered a mocha latte, matcha latte, and strawberry latte, and let me tell you—they were as beautiful as they were delicious. Each drink had its own unique flavor profile: the mocha was rich and chocolatey, the matcha was earthy and smooth without being too bitter, and the strawberry latte was perfectly sweet and creamy, with real fruit flavor.

For food, I tried the Nutella banana toast and honey bread toast—both were next-level good. The Nutella banana combo was warm and indulgent, and the honey bread toast? Fluffy, golden, and just the right amount of crispy on the edges. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this place will absolutely deliver.

The cafe is also super aesthetic—a great spot to chill, study, or catch up with friends. Service was friendly and fast even though it got a little busy during peak hours.

Also, if you're curious to see the vibes and what I had, check out my video on TikTok at @kingrodism—I post foodie finds and travel gems all around the Bay and beyond.

Highly recommend Big Mug for anyone looking to treat themselves. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“I ordered two hot chocolates through Uber eats and found a wonderful note that says "Azeem. Thank you!!! Have a wonderful night! Enjoy!!" It definitely made my night. Thank you to the night crew. You guys are awesome. BTW the Hot chocolates were amazing!!!!“

“Great mocha latte!

Only one issue: The staff is generally courteous and friendly, but they don’t call out names loud enough. As a result, orders often sit on the counter, cooling down, because customers can’t hear over the noise in the café.“

“Clean and functional Starbucks, located in an urban village plaza. Plenty of parking in the large parking lot, although it can fill up quickly since it’s shared with the Nob Hill next door plus some other restaurants in the plaza. Fast and efficient service, and several decent outdoor spots to hang out.“

“The fruit smoothies at this location are always great to have. Their snacks and rice dishes such as the curry chicken and popcorn chicken are also quite tasty. However, I will say that the fried calamari is a disappointment. As the restaurant will close either at 11:00 pm or 12:00 midnight, it is a great place for a midnight snack.“

“Great cold brew and Boba. Lots to offer here with a kiosk to order. Great community oriented owners for sure. More to offer than what's on this menu, there's tea, Boba, milk tea, etc but the cold brews are a latte, so expect mostly milk. I recommend 50% sweet.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Open. OPEN! OPEM! Parking a lot easier than old location“

“Please Starbucks, please repair or replace the noisy coffee grinding machine - it has been 2 years now.“

“In my opinion, it is one of the biggest Starbucks stores with high ceilings and great modern design. Despite their $35 million dollars lawsuit loss, somehow, they continue to give customers Venti size very hot tea in a single cup, instead of doubling the cup for stability to hold the hot drink. With a Venti size, the volume and cup design makes the cup very squishy, resulting in people burning their hand or other body parts. I guess a company and its staff can be for every WOKE agenda, but not common sense!“

“Friendly and Warm Staff!! Will Definitely come back again“

“Staff were so warm and friendly, and helped me customize my order to my liking and gave me recommendations. The food was absolutely amazing, the baguettes were warm and crispy and the pork and tofu were savory and delicious. Would HIGHLY recommend 10/10“

“Always a fun location to grab a cup especially before or after a movie. There’s an AMC cineplex next door.“

“Even if there is a line the employees are fast and drinks accurate“
